A multidisciplinary approach to sport tourism education in a digital era
2017
Sport tourism has enjoyed a plethora of definitional and
theoretical perspectives over the last three decades proposing a
dynamic alternative to mass tourism with specific structural
features and modus operandi. However, studies examining or
suggesting the basic body of knowledge that would satisfy the
educational needs of participants in this complex tourism form
are lacking. The present study - through an analysis of the
involved conceptual fields - aims to minor the gap between
theoretical support and direction for tourism academics and the
realistic skills needed by the sport tourism industry. The main
focus of the study is to provide a theoretical platform based on
the available paradigms that would facilitate the build of sport
tourism related curriculums. The study embraces an analysis of
available secondary sources, academic course outlines, official
university’s sites, policy declarations, etc. and parallels
theoretical models to produce the basic thematic dimensions of
a relevant conceptual framework. Hopefully, the result will offer a
vision on the further development of sport tourism education to
meet the needs of one of the most promising leisure forms.
